From what I am reading it seems that if I use a Heineken style keg that has been precharged with CO2 then I do not need a CO2 cartridge/tank. Correct?

That is correct. You just attached the supplied Heineken adapter to the beer line, then press it into place on top of the mini keg.

David, I use 2.5 gal mini kegs and this charger will empty two kegs with one 16 gram cartridge.My taps are mounted directly to the liquid quick connect with no lines used so pressure is not an issue. When the flow gets weak, I pull the trigger a couple times to give it some more gas. I like them, no leaks and the control is good. I hope this helps.

It takes a 12gram Co2 cartridge...just to be clear, "Co2" in general terms means the co2 12gram cartridge, but gas is either referred to as propane and/or green gas in the "airsoft language." Also, I don't know any airsoft/airguns that take anything different then a 12gram co2 cartridge.

I take my tanks to my local Propane / Gas vendor and their CO2 gets delivered as "Food Grade" or "Beverage Grade". I'd check around!

Yes u can use air instead of co2 and no u can't use the tank in the package for air

Mike F. DO NOT BUY THEM!!! I had to buy all new from MicroMatic & they are worth the extra $$$$. All I had was wasted CO2 tanks at the brewery, all in all set me back a few hundred dollars on CO2. These keg couplers are horrible!!!!

Hi Oscar -- Thanks for your inquiry. You can use any liquid you choose in the Soda Plus. It's fun to fizz up your favorite fruit juices and try different juice combinations -- and it's more economical. You can even make sparkling wines and re-carbonate beverages that have gone flat. Also, the Soda Plus is easy to use and uses any standard brand of CO2 cartridge so you're not limited by more expensive proprietary brands. We hope this information has been helpful. If you want to learn more, please feel free to contact us. Best regards, aaa kitchenstuff

If you buy them from mastrad, you only get one use from 1 CO2 cartridge. Once you put the cartridge in and release the CO2 it's done for and you have to throw it away. The only place I could find the 8 gram was on mastrad.com. Do not use the 15g ones, they will ruin your soda maker.

I've had no such issues with mine. However, I recently went to a paintball supply shop to have my cartridges refilled and the owner was concerned about filling a cartridge that would be used for human consumption. He said he couldn't vouch for the safety of the CO2. Does anybody know if this is a real concern? Do they need a special filter or something?

You can have one keg tapped or two. You can't have two kegs set up at different pressures though. That would require a second regulator.

I'm not sure. I haven't used my sodastream in over a year, greatly preferring my alternative set up. If I remember, there are two different sizes of sodastream canisters, the 60L and the 130L. While I cannot verify this, many users state that they do not get the advertized number of liters from the sodastream canisters. It might depend on how much you prefer to carbonate your water. I got my sodastream as a Christmas present in 2013; it came with a filled 130L canister. Unfortunately, no store in Tucson could refill the 130L despite Staples saying they could. After seeing the ridiculously expensive usage costs I immediately looked around for a better solution and found one many times less expensive to use, much more versatile, and one that uses a much cheaper, non-proprietary local CO2 canister (&lt;$20 for 5lbs of CO2 and a one time charge for the exchangeable canister.) The gift sodastream was purchased at Costco and could use either of the two proprietary canisters. If I remember correctly, sending the 130L to sodastream for refilling would cost in the vicinity of $50 including postage, and would require ecologically extravagant and wasteful shipping methods, and buying a spare canister was expensive even when not filled with CO2. Because the sodastream canisters are proprietary local CO2 venders cannot fill them; sodstream purposefully put an incompatible valve on their products. One of my hopes when I got the sodastream was that I would reduce my carbon footprint. The 5lb has carbonated over 200 liters and is still going despite the fact that I tend to use a lot of CO2 when I carbonate. The materials are all found locally, thereby reducing considerably my carbon footprint and I find that it is fun to experiment with carbonating things other than water. As you may know, using the sodastream on anything other than water will cause problems (exploding containers) and that even with water the recommended carbonation is not enough for many users, including me. Hope this helps and good luck. . .

No, this adapter is intended to use with a CO2 tank with a gas beer plug and a regular soda bottle. A small tank of CO2 of 5 lbs can charge up to 3000 bottles of soda. I just charged my empty tank of CO2 after 3000 sodas and I pay about $ 10 in a welding supply store.

I don't think it will its a one gallon keg with tap at bottom but that said it an awesome little keg I usually keg and CO2 carbonate all my home brew but with these I can take a gallon from each batch and naturally carb some for comparison

Tap is permanently installed in the keg. You just pull it out to pour. So no, you do not tap this the same tap/pump as a regular sized keg as there is no need to do so. There is no need for a pump as it is gravity draining.

I'm no sure, I just used plastic tubing and set the pressure of the keg to about 3-5 psi and it worked great!
